Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening riff where the guitar sounds like it's physically coming apart at the seams.
The suffocating, slow-motion crawl of Sinking that drags the listener into a sludge-filled abyss.
Greg Ginn's frantic, non-linear guitar solo on Annihilate This Week that defies standard scales.
